Welcome to mathematical debates, where technicalities reign supreme! The meme perfectly captures that awkward moment when someone thinks they've caught you in a logical trap about prime numbers.
The definition states a prime number can only be divided by itself and 1. But wait—does that make 1 a prime number too? Absolutely not, and mathematicians will fight you on this hill!
The number 1 is actually considered neither prime nor composite. It's the mathematical equivalent of that person who refuses to pick a side in an argument. This special treatment is because if we allowed 1 to be prime, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic would collapse faster than my will to explain math at parties.
